The heatmap is so interesting. I LOVE the fluidity in Emery's team this year. Players are allowed to float into space and pick up the ball, especially against teams that sit back and defend. Will be incredible to see what the pace of KT and HB bring to this method of attack. Equally fascinating how this will change against the top 6.
